old announcer having a basketball orgasm right before our eyes

Good effort black. Hold onto that board!!!

"Wowwww! What an action play there!" - actual quote from Homer Drew.

 

[GortTheRobot]

We saved all of our defensive effort for the last minute and a half. Is that our version of the "rope-a-dope"?

Malcolm has had the ball stripped away 3 or 4 times the last 5 minutes or so.

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

81 - 77 with :44 to go.

 

[Jon]

seriously though, is anyone keeping track of this? I swear we are shooting 10% on the front end of a 1 and 1

9%*

And then something about ping pong

Why does almost our entire team have ZERO basketball IQ?

 

[drew306]

Misses the front end. Leron gets his hands on the rebound and fumbles it out of bounds. timeout

 

[tamillini]

"Both teams played really well in that sequence" as it's a circus of turnovers.

 

[illiniknight]

Defense in the last couple of minutes has been good. Offense... Well we still have the lead.

I was doing hw so I started watching with three left. Have we been terrible, or has Iupui just played their hearts out? Also, whoever is the color guy is the worst announcer I've ever heard.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

MH has looked good, but did not realize that he has 32 points.
So good

 

[illini8507]

Is it bad that I kinda like Homer drew calling this game? Lol

We got 'em right where we want 'em!

 

[TownieMatt]

The contrast in manliness between Leron and the rest of our players is pretty eye-opening. We've got way too many soft guys on this team.

 

[Trakis]

that was, by far, the luckiest moment for us so far this season.

Both.
